ELEMENTS OF MUSEUM PEDAGOGY IN EDUCATIONAL AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT IN THE MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

The integration of cultural, historical, and experiential components into the teaching and learning process is revolutionizing museum pedagogy, offering several opportunities to enhance instruction. This study examines how elements of museum pedagogy may be included into the framework of teaching and learning in the contemporary educational process, emphasizing how they can promote critical thinking, interdisciplinary comprehension, and individual growth. Teachers may use the special resources that museums have to offer—such as artifacts, exhibitions, and interactive displays—to create engaging, student-centered curricula that close the knowledge gap between theory and practice.

The research looks at the fundamentals of museum pedagogy, how it has changed over time, and how it may help with today's pressing educational issues including digital transformation, diversity, and the demand for possibilities for lifelong learning. The study emphasizes how museum pedagogy may enhance learning outcomes, student motivation, and cultural literacy by utilizing both qualitative and quantitative approaches, such as case studies, educator interviews, and data from experimental educational programs.

According to the findings, including museum pedagogy into the curriculum motivates students to actively participate and creates an environment in which they may interact with a wide range of historical and cultural contexts. The study identifies barriers such as limited access to museum items, poor teacher preparation, and the need for adapted frameworks appropriate for varied educational situations. The study's findings indicate ways to maximize the impact of museum pedagogy by incorporating it into teaching strategies and developing partnerships between educational institutions and museums.

By examining its fundamental ideas, recent successes, and real-world applications, the study seeks to show how museum pedagogy can help create an inclusive, engaging, and future-ready learning environment. The article addresses the function of museum pedagogy in the context of educational and methodological support of modern education.
